Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ei, sóc al bell mig d'una tempesta
Desorientat entre elements
M'aturo momentàniament

Ei, que si t'ho dic és perquè ho sento
I que si ho sento és perquè ho sé
I em precipito en un desert

I miro com vas
i miro com véns
diguem-ho com si fos un estrany
I miro com vas
i miro com véns
diguem-ho com si fos un estrany

Ei, que no sabria bé com fer-ho
faria més de mil intents
I ho provaria un cop més

Ei, que si t'ho dic és perquè ho sento
I que si ho sento és perquè ho sé
I que saber-ho és un turment

I miro com vas
I miro com véns
Diguem-ho com si fos un estrany
I miro com vas

I miro com véns
Diguem-ho com si fos un estrany

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ferran Palau's song Estrany capture the feeling of being lost and disoriented in the midst of a storm. The singer is momentarily halted by the forces of nature and feels unsure of their direction. They acknowledge their unease to someone else and reassure them that they are speaking honestly about their feelings. However, they also recognize that knowing and understanding their emotions can be painful.

The refrain of the song repeats twice, emphasizing the central theme of feeling like a stranger or outsider. The singer observes both themselves and the person they are addressing, using the metaphor of coming and going to describe their interactions. The use of the word "estrany" in Catalan translates to "stranger" in English, heightening the sense of disconnect and alienation.

The lyrics effectively convey a sense of vulnerability and searching for connection, and the repetition of the refrain reinforces the feeling of being lost and alone. The use of metaphors and imagery effectively evoke a feeling of being caught in a storm, both geographically and emotionally.
